This makes for a great Run-N'-Gun mic without having to worry about being so exact in aiming the camera. I have used this mic for recording an entire table of actors in the studio. Used it for talking head shot. Most importantly, it works great as an off-camera mic. Naturally it is limited to the natural timbre distance of all voices - 18"-24". But it is just so easy to use. Takes the place of dedicated Shotgun, Studio, Overhead mics for me. Within reason. your mileage may vary.

The updated version of the AKG Acoustic C1000 S multipurpose small-diaphragm condenser microphone is extremely popular for its versatility. It is suitable for recording and live-sound applications as well as for ENG/EFP and video productions. Its gold sputtered capsule housing makes the microphone extremely rugged against humidity.
If no phantom power is available, the C1000 S can be powered by two standard AA batteries for up to 120 hours. The new C1000 S features a bass-cut switch and a switchable -10 dB pad. The polar pattern can quickly be switched from cardioid to hyper-cardioid. Three different frequency settings are adding more clarity to speech and instrument sounds.
